A WET winter is predicted by the weatherwise, and succession of favor able seasons will follow, if their words are at all prophetic. It is certain that a wonderful change has taken place in our meteorological condition, and the facility with which the rain clouds assemble and dispense their favors upon the just and unjust, is the subject of comment by all weather observers. Even as we write, the clouds are gathering for another bap- tism of "dry" Arizona ana no one will be surprised if the farmer is able to grow his crops the coming year without the aid of artificial irrigation.

There is nothing more important i'll the training of a young horse for driving on the road than the idea of teaching him to strike certain rate of speed and then keep it. A good, strong walk is quite essential in driving horse for parts of the road where the trot is impracticable, but when a horse is urged cut of walk he ought to have certain rate of speed which he will, of his own accord, take and keep. By little patience in train ing this gait, or rate rather, IS not hard to establish, and when once acquired it adds materially to the value of any driv- CT. A horse that ''goes by jerks" that will trot his best for short distance and then slow up to an uncomfortable dog trot, is never pleasant driver, and as a rule IS not able to get over as much ground in day with ease to himself and comfort to those who handle the reins as one that is ready gated Pittsburg Stockman.

WE are in receipt of the New York Star of the 17th inst, containing the re- port of Prof. Francis D. Taylor, nm ing engineer of national reputation, on the Tortilita mines at the Owl Heads in this county. MT. Taylor spent ten days at the mines and made thorough ex- animation, and his conclusions are high ly favorable to those properties. Now we have this endorsement of the prop critics made after the most exhaustive re- search into the merits of the mines, to rebut the f1ippant charges made for a purpose by Colorado mining engineer upon an examination of possibly two hours, and the public can judge which of the two Is the more worthy of belief. For our part we have never lost conf dence in these properties and have sl- lently borne the base insinuations of the few Arizona journals that are hostile to the Torritory's interests, fully realizing that our position would be fully vindi- cated when the facts were made known. We reiterate, the Tortilitas will yet prove to be among the great mines for which Pinal county is so justly famous

THE Kansas blizzard that swept down into Arizona two weeks ago, with its shivering winds and sharp frosts, has spent all it's fury and the past week has given us return of the lovely and warm weather that characterizes our winter climate. Bright and warm days of sun shine when doors and windows are open ed to let in the soft breeze, again gladden. the heart. Ind eed, there is no other place on earth where such beautiful win ter weather can be found, and this one grand resource should be sufficient to bring hither thousands of people from the frozen north and rheumatic east dur ing the winter season. But we have more to offer them, for the soil is ric h beyond comprehension and will grow luxurious crops that always command good prices, and but little toll or expense is required to create lovely bone out of the barren desert. The water ques- ton has been solved and nothing is now wanting but the brain, brawn and money of the industrious immigrant. These grand opportunities cannot long remain open, for their value will soon become widely known and apprecat ed by shrewd
 practical men and boom like that of southern California will speedily follow

But give me, old chappie, the land the land.

The buttercups nod to the breezes of morn,
The hillSides with the daisies are hoary,
The gay dandelions the meadows adorn,

Where waveth the red tufted clover,
And the husband goes round with delight in his

For the days Of house cleaning are over.

Two Views Of n Question.

The Concord school Of philosophy is now in
session, and the pupils" are ripping up old
Aristotle from Genesis to Revelations and
back again. One of them says that "Aris-
totle'S smmovable' is really the unmoved,
which means the unmoved from without. but
at the same time self moved, or moved from
within, the cause Of its due motion, and this
can and does move others" Well, we are
moved to remark that if Aristotle was so
terribly addicted to moving, the Inference is
that he didn't pay his rent.-Norristown

SHOULD NOT SUCKLE THE
COW.

Henry Stewart believes thus: "a
calf should never be permitted to
suck the cows. This enforced habit
changes in time the dispositions of
those young cows which never have
sucked a calf and never have been
nursed by a dam themselves. They
never hold up their milk and are
rarely troubled with garget or have
the m vices of COWS which
grow out of their natural affection
for the calf after they have been
habituated to it's company and have
nursed it. My practice has always
been to remove the calf as soon as
it dropped, watching the COW until
she has been safely delivered. The
calf is taken to a pen provided for it
at a distance from the COW stable,
where it is out of sight and hearing.
The calf is rubbed dry and is COM
fortably bedded in this sheltered
pen. The cow is tied in the stable,
given a mess of warm bran and lin
seed meal sop, and is MIXED. The
milk is then given to the calf
which it is taught to drink by Civ
ing it two fingers separated about
an inch, through which the milk is
easily sucked. Three meals a day
are given. This is continued until
the fourth day when the milk is fit
for use in the dairy. After this
skinned milk, warmed to ninety
degrees, is given three times a day,
and no morc than three quarts to d
meal during the first month. The
calves + kept alone; a clean of fine
bundle Of hay may be hung
in the pen and they will soon begin
to eat. By perseverance in thus
weaving a calf not only from its
dam but from it's natural inclination
to suck, much future trouble will be
avoided"

PROTECTING YOUNG TREES
FROM RABBITS.

Not the least of the enemies of
u young orchard trees is the rab-
bit, and we fear he will be such as
long as our Usage Orange hedges
remain. The rabbit will not injure
the trees in summer, when he has
an abundance Of succulent food {;
but in winter the tender bark is to
him a dainty that he will partake
Of if it is not made distasteful to
him or he is not frightened away.
TO frighten him from the trees is
not easy. We have tried effec-
tualIy the plan of tying white cloths
around the tree, and found to our
sorrow that the rabbit soon ceased
to fear them. Making the snow
into a solid mound around the tree
will keep away mice but not rab-
bits, though it is often said it
would. The rabbits will mount the
mound and nibble away. Besides,
we don't have snow half the time
during the winter. The best way
is to make the bark distasteful to
the rabbit. He likes neither blood,
nor grease, nor the odor of flesh.
Hence, when you butcher, take the
waste parts of the animals, and
with these parts rub the trunks as
far UP as the rabbits can reach.
The rabbits never nibble a tree so

OVER OF


No better evidence of the great
overproduction of tobacco in the
West is wanted than that given by
the statistics of stocks held in all the
principal markets. By a careful
comparison of figures we have come
to the conclusion that on December
1st there were at least 10000 900
pounds more of Western tobacco
held as stock in the principal mark
cts than on December 1st, 1885, and
fully 65, 100000 pounds more than
was held December l, 1884. With
an assured surplus in the 1886 Wes-
tern crop, what will be the status of
affairs December l, 1887? 1t is not
hard to guess. The only possibility
Of relief from the present great de-
preston is in a materially decreased
acreage in 1887. Yes, there is an
other source Of relief open (not only
for Western, but the producers of all
Sect!ons) in conjunction with the
first named, and hat is the re-es-
Establishment of prices on the manu-
featured article to something like Il
reasonable basis. With leaders and
drives and efforts of leading manu-
facturers to monopolize the trade and
exterminate each other, prices have
become so d~emoralizcd that there is
neither profit or pleasure in any
branch of the trade.
Leading tobacco manufacturers
could signalize the advent OF the New
Year in no happier manner than by
burying the "tomahawk, abolishing
the practices Of putting out leaders
and Of giving rebates and presents,
and establishing prices on a basis
that will insure renewed prosperity
to the trade. While generally OPP
posed to combinations, we would
welcome the combination of tobacco
manufacturers for such laudable OBJ
iects as above cited Western To-
bdccO Journal.
